Jobox is a youth employment platform that helps graduates launch their careers by connecting them with real work opportunities at companies that need emerging talent. We partner with universities, training institutions and employers to make it easier for young people to gain experience and for businesses to access vetted, work-ready candidates. Our technology and support team handle everything from matching and onboarding to progress tracking, so that every placement creates lasting impact for both the graduate and the employer.

Why is now a great time to join Jobox?

We've spent the past few years proving that youth employment can be done differently, faster, fairer and with measurable results. Now we're scaling that success. With new partners, fresh funding and thousands of graduates on our platform, we're expanding across institutions and industries. Joining us now means shaping the product that powers this mission, building features that directly impact thousands of young South Africans finding work, and working at the intersection of technology, education and social impact where your decisions create real change every day.

What you will be doing

You will lead the evolution of the Jobox platform, which powers placements, bursary management, and talent discovery for thousands of young South Africans. Your role combines strategic direction with hands-on delivery. You will define what we build, why it matters, and ensure that every release moves us closer to our mission of creating meaningful youth employment at scale. You will work closely with the CEO and fractional CTO to translate Jobox’s business objectives into a clear product roadmap, then guide our developers to bring it to life. This includes shaping features from research and prioritisation through to release and iteration, while ensuring the platform remains intuitive, scalable, and valuable for students, employers, and funders. Your work will directly influence how youth access opportunities, how companies engage with emerging talent, and how institutions measure outcomes. You will act as both strategist and builder, connecting user needs, technical delivery, and business growth into one coherent direction.

Where you will fit in

You will report to the CEO and form part of the leadership team, working closely with the fractional CTO and developers who build the platform. You will partner with Customer Success, Student Success, Business Development, and Operations teams who engage with users daily. Your role is to connect these perspectives into a unified product direction. You will ensure that user insights, business priorities, and technical realities align, while maintaining clarity on the overall roadmap. You will help translate company strategy into product execution and guide cross-functional collaboration so that the platform continues to scale effectively and deliver measurable impact.
